Altun: Reuters is an agency that publishes misleading and fake news targeting Turkey and President Erdogan

In response to a misleading report published by Reuters targeting Turkey and President Erdogan, Fahrettin Altun, head of the Turkish Presidency's Communications Department, confirmed that "Reuters's targeting of the Communications Department's leadership is a badge of honor for us and a sign that we are on the right path."

The head of the communications department in the Turkish presidency, Fahrettin Altun, said in response to a Reuters report that attacked the department, that "the British news agency (Reuters) targeting the presidency of the communications department, which participates in successful activities at home and abroad in line with the Turkish communication model, is a badge of honor for us and a sign that we We're on the right track."

"Over the past four years, we have faced disinformation campaigns targeting Turkey, built our nation's resilience against such attempts, and created an atmosphere of transparency," Altun added in a series of tweets posted on his official Twitter account.

"This time is not the first time that Reuters, a body that practices systematic manipulation targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkey, has published misleading and fake news," he added.

Altun pointed out that "Reuters spread misinformation against Turkey at the height of the ISIS terrorist campaign, while our nation was relentlessly confronting this organization."

The head of the Turkish presidency's communications department confirmed that "Reuters' publication of misinformation against Turkey was an attempt to cover up the fact that some Western governments turned a blind eye or, with the help of their intelligence services, facilitated the flow of foreign terrorist fighters into Syria."

He stressed that "Turkey is defending the truth in the face of a regime characterized by occupation, military coups and civil wars, and which feeds a terrorist organization not only in Turkey but also in different parts of the world."

And he added, "What happened is the passing of imaginary and made-up scenarios, full of bias and baseless cliched words, as Reuters has done many times before."

Alton concluded by reminding the authors of the report and those in charge of Reuters that "this is not the way to participate in real journalism, regardless of the circumstances, and we invite you to deal with facts and facts alone."
